KACHUMBARI



Kachumbari image

This is a versatile, traditional African tomato-onion salad accented with spicy peppers. It's so very simple to make and also good as salsa, on crostini as an appetizer, or if there are leftovers, turn it into gazpacho by giving it a quick whirl in a blender or food processor.

KACHUMBARI (TOMATO AND ONION RELISH)



Kachumbari (Tomato and Onion Relish) image

In his book, "Koshersoul," the food historian Michael W. Twitty explores the varied cuisines of the global Jewish diaspora. Kachumbari, the Swahili word that means "pickle," can be traced to Kenya and other East African countries where the tomato and onion mix is served as a salad or relish. This dish exemplifies a tradition of hospitality: Appetizers or snacks - salatim in Israel, kemia in North Africa and mezze in the Middle East - are offered to house guests. After tasting the small plates, the visitors then decide if they would like to stay and enjoy the main meal. This deeply flavored kachumbari can be served with nearly any fish or other protein-based dish, and can also be offered alongside plantains, or with hummus and pita.

KACHUMBALI



Kachumbali image

This relish comes from Tanzania, where it is often served with grilled meat or fish. A variation of this recipe is to finely chop the vegetables. This will produce a sauce-like mixture, which they say is good served inside pita bread. Jalapeno chillies would work well in this dish. From a cookbook called The African and Middle Eastern Cookbook.
